The secret life of trees in the Faughan Valley

BBC Radio Ulster - Countryside, The secret life of trees in the Faughan Valley

Faughan Forest, disintegrating pants and Honey Fair.

Tipperary farmer in Ukraine, Faughan Valley’s secret forests, disintegrating tractor pants in Cambridgeshire and the sweet smell of the Honey Fair in Hillsborough.

Tipperary farmer, Jonathan Clibborn, manages a four hectare farm in Ukraine – so how is his work being impacted by the scrapping of agreements at Black Sea ports? We find out more about the secret life of trees in the Faughan Valley close to Londonderry and speak to Sophie Mitchell Smith, the cow beautician from Manchester! We delve into the crazy experimental world of Cambridgeshire farmer, Tim Scott, who buried his tractor underpants – and nearly wore then again - and finally a sweet ending at the Honey Fair in Hillsborough.
